Basically shrimp and rice cooked together. Onion, chicken stock, rice, shrimp, bacon. A true Carolina pilau is usually chicken with smoked sausage, cooked with the stock from the chicken. There is also a "backbone pilau" made from pork. That one will really make your lips shiny.

That sounds yummy!!

Just wanted to let all of you know that the doctor visit went OK. My hormone levels basically stayed the same so she increased my meds and told me to try and not forget to take them (I think I mentioned to all of you that sometimes I forget to take the evening pill). I told her they need to make a CR one (controlled release...I only know what that means from Tommy boy who works for a pharma co!!! )

Glad to hear all is OK, now we just need to work on a way for you to remember your evening meds!

Dinner tonight will be quick: soup and sandwiches. We just found out that a cousin of Alan's is burying her 4 year old tonight. She was drowned in a boating accident on Lake Powell last weekend. It's so sad!!! That family has lost their grandmother, mother, and now the baby in just this last year and a half. I don't know how they are coping.

My heart goes out to that poor family how very sad.

Glad you visit went well. Is there something you do each night at the same time? Maybe get one of the alarm pill containers.


Tonight we are having spaghetti and sausage.

Thanks, I missed that somehow. Not that I understand it, but I have read it.

I'm back in town; tonight the conference was going to feed us pizza but we bailed and went to Chili's.

I don't like Chili's chicken fingers but love their crispy boneless wings. They have a new honey chipotle chicken finger that tastes JUST like their wings (really crispy) and the sauce is delish.

So I was super happy.

Like I mentioned a few days ago, my dad is going through a divorce. While he is very independent and can take care of himself quite well, it breaks my heart to think of him cooking and eating alone. On that note, he is coming to my house for dinner tonight. I am making my Ritz Parmesan chicken, macaroni and cheese, and a vegetable of some kind. I made a vanilla chip cake for dessert (story below).

WFD at your house?

ETA: Ok, my cake story. *sigh* This cake rocks the house, is really easy, and I knew my dad would love it. The batter itself is rich, thick, and delish. So I pull it out of the oven to let it cool for the directed 10 minutes. I get out my decorative plate to put it on and invert the cake to get it out.

It doesn't come out.

Ok, no big deal. I ran a straight knife down the sides and middle of the pan (fluted bundt pan BTW). Still no luck. What the crap?! I'm thinking. I work and work, shake and shake, tap and tap........nothing.

Finally my husband gives it a try. I hear it coming out. Woo hoo! I pull the pan completely off and a chunk of one side is left in the pan. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!! It's still edible, just a little lopsided.

 

[FormrCastMbr]

Kathy and Janice, Thanks for being concerned about me and my meds. I have them right on the window sill (sp) to take right after dinner...but Tom usually helps with the dishes, then I forget. I took them last night before dinner so hopefully that will work. If not, I'll visit the alarm thingy.

Whenever this happens, you can turn it into a trifle...I have a great recipe from a bakery and that is how the recipe came about from a cake they could get out of the pan. Basically they just broke up the cake, added layers of pudding and whipped cream.

Forgot to post WFD. I am heading to my Moms so I am throwing an eye round in the crock and we will have french dip sandwiches, oven fries and salad.

Have a great day!

Kathy, any word from Wendie or Kris? TIA

No word yet, I know they're going back to the Dr today and I asked Kris to update me. I miss her!

Dinner tonight will be oven bbq'd baby back ribs, hash browns with chorizo and corn.

The most important thing is that your sig can be no larger than 250 x 600 pixels which is 2 1/2 inches in length and 6 inches in width. I had to make some major adjustments in mine.

I guess I need to fix mine today. It is way over 2 1/2 inches in length. Thanks for the explanation.

Lauren I had trouble remembering my evening medication too so I applied one of DD's theraputic methods - I paired it with something else. You sort of did this by putting it in the window sill knowing you would be washing dishes in the evening. For me, I always wash my face before bed, so I put the medication on top of the face wash. I then had to move the medicine before washing my face. It just needs to be paired with something you do every evening. Good luck.

Lindsay sorry about your cake. I am not a good baker so I know from a great deal of personal experience how frustrating that is.

Tonight's dinner is maple glazed salmon with steamed veggies and cheesy orzo.

Have a great day everyone.

Morning Y'all,

I'm mostly packed! Gonna have time to get my nails done this morning!

Glynis, That is so sad, I feel horrible for that poor family!

Lindsay, Sorry about your cake! That's how it usually goes when I bake!

Kathy, Hash browns with chorizo?! Sounds yummy! Do you have a recipe for that?

Of course I don't need it right away, there will be no cooking here this evening. Bob's driving instructor never showed on Monday, & he is on is way but is driving through Houston now! So Bob will probably be home late, so it'll be sandwiches for dinner here. He is so frustrated with this driving guy, I think he could explode!

Y'all have a great day!

Lauren don't forget to take your meds tonight!

Kathy, Everything I've got from the Beach Club pic on down is considered my signature? Only 2 1/2 inches high? Awww man, that's gonna be tough! I'll have to work on it when we come back from the trip!

If I don't get to check in later, we'll be taking off early tomorrow morning! I'll taste everything I possibly can, just for you guys!!!

Yep, Rachael Ray super easy!!

Everything underneath the line is considered your signature. Don't worry about it now, since you're so busy, the software will delete anything outside the parameters.

Have a great time, try & keep our wild child Lori in check!

Awww man, I'm gonna have to take off practically everything if I want to keep my BC pic! Ugh!

Keep Lori in check?! I don't think that's possible!!! I think Lori's gonna be a bad influence on me! At least if I misbehave I can blame her!

I'm sure we'll have some fun & interesting pics for y'all. Our Crazy Nola Crew all decked out in lime green boas!!!!

I'll be thinking about y'all with every bite & sip!!!

 

[TigerKat]

I heard some talk about someone working on re-sizing the DVC pics, if that happens you'll have more room to work with.

I can't wait to hear all about your trip and for once the food isn't what I'm excited about, it's the NOLA gals!

 

[liamandcaili]

Sheryl -- Have a great trip!

I'm volunteering in Caili's class again today --what was I thinking -- and then we have skating, so I am going to put a fish chowder together now, and then I will just need to reheat it when I get home. I'm not sure what I'll give Liam and Caili...maybe grilled cheese.

[TheBeadPirate]

Uh huh..... I see. Just cause I haven't gotten here yet ya'll are talking about me again!

She's gonna come back and tell you how incredibly boring I am and how Rick wouldn't stop hitting on all the women. Read the tag line........it tells the truth!

We're going to be going to church and sitting quietly in the pews. Hands crossed in our laps. Drinking only communion wine and eating only wafers. Contemplating and praying for the heathens at Epcot swilling wine and booze and gorging themselves to excess.
